Fatty Wardle at the Stadium of Light!

Delighted to announce that Jon "Fatty" Wardle is on board for the Stadium of Light game on the 15th May.

Wardle last kicked a ball in anger (including with a goal) in February 2009, and then vanished in the wilderness (or up a chimney) and was never heard of again, until now. Delighted to have him on board.

We now have five players who played in our original line up, fifteen years ago in 2001, who will be playing at the Stadium of Light. The players are Jon Wardle, Chris Dixon, Davinder Sangha, Dave Gourlay and Mark Muers.

Another disappointing game topped off with McDermont foaming at the mouth, requesting to be subbed, then fannying around in the box to concede the fourth goal.

Disputed penalty, and it wasn't McDermont this time.
A solid performance, again, from Sassco against, arguably, the strongest team in the competition.
